It's not whatabout-ism. The question was why is Saudi money accepted. Human-rights violations is totally irrelevant. If it were a leading concern then companies couldn't accept American money either. SpaceX basically couldn't exist. Humans rights is about political power nothing else. Saudis are already dancing to the USA's tune so the US doesn't roll out the human rights and democracy trope. Instead they trade.
- mseebach 9y agoYes it's whataboutism. Human rights violations aren't binary and the Saudi variety is in a different class entirely from the US.
- rorykoehler 9y ago>different class entirely from the US Could you elaborate how you came to this conclusion?
